What I've settled on right now is figuring I have 6 weeks - so 6 destinations would be good, spending more time in each one and driving hard in between.
Week 1: Glacier National Park, Montana
Week 2: Minnesota/Wisconsin with relations
Week 3: New England
Week 4: Tennesee/Great Smokies
Week 5... uh, unfortunately, distances catch up with me here. Transit between Nashville and Crescent City, CA
Week 6: Redwoods/Northern California coast
It looks like I can pull it off. There's a question of timing... there's an event in St. Louis on October 23rd I'd like to make... and then I'm trying to line up with Krista's wedding. Hmm. Something always has to give...the later I go, the more potentially treacherous my northern route would be. I'm on alert for weather-related disasters at any rate... those happen year-round now.
In other news, I had a really lovely weekend. Friday night I did work - but fun work - Saturday I went with friends for a movie and pizza, the most normal of all activities, and then today I went for a walk around the neighborhood, did more work, and yanked ivy. There's something very therapeutic about beating back invasive species. I think I am also helped that the steri-strips are OFF and I look fairly normal again. Just in time for radiation. To borrow from Jill - there's a long way to climb, but I am good at climbing.
Cheers!

Ooh! That's quite an ambitious set of travel plans. When you return, let me know if you'd like to get together to do something like sit in a hot tub.
